Rangers designated outfielder Nick Gorneault for assignment.

Gorneault hardly figured to fit into the Rangers' plans when he was claimed off waivers from the Angels on Oct. 29, and he'd scarcely been mentioned as an outfield option since, even though at age 28, he's not exactly in need of more seasoning. He'll have a tough time shedding the quad-A reputation. Thu, Dec 13, 2007 12:13:00 AM

Rangers claimed outfielder Nick Gorneault off waivers from the Angels.

We're not sure why a team that already has Jason Botts, Nelson Cruz and Victor Diaz feels the need to add Gorneault. The 28-year-old right-handed hitter has a history of putting up quality minor league numbers and probably would be a decent platoon partner for a left-handed hitter, but he doesn't have the long-term upside of any of the aforementioned players.

Angels optioned outfielder Nick Gorneault to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Gorneault went 0-for-4 in three days with the Angels. Mon, Jul 2, 2007 08:54:00 PM

Angels recalled outfielder Nick Gorneault from Triple-A Salt Lake.

They must have simply decided there wouldn't be enough at-bats available for Terry Evans. Gorneault would have been a decent choice for a bench spot in previous years, but he was hitting just .220/.308/.364 for Salt Lake this season. He won't play much at all. Fri, Jun 29, 2007 07:00:00 PM

Keuchel, who won his third straight Gold Glove on Tuesday, didn't pitch after August 27 due to left shoulder inflammation. He's been working on strengthening his shoulder and will go for an MRI later this month. If he gets good news, he's hoping to be considered to pitch for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Keuchel will be aiming to rebound in 2017 after he posted a disappointing 4.55 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 26 starts.

Lance McCullers' agent, Scott Boras, said that there has been no medical indication that his client's elbow injury will have an effect on the 2017 season.

"There's nothing from the doctors that we've heard that would suggest that there's going to be any problem for '17," Boras said. McCullers was forced out of action in early August due to a mild elbow sprain, one which kept him on the shelf for the remainder of the regular season. He did progress to throwing a bullpen session in late September, but the Astros ultimately decided it would be best for his long-term prospects not to push the issue. GM Jeff Luhnow has said that he expects McCullers to be fully recovered by spring training.
